The scrubfowl are the genus Megapodius of the mound-builders, stocky, medium-large chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet in the family Megapodiidae.
They do not incubate their eggs with their body heat in the orthodox way, but bury them. They are best known for building massive nest-mounds of decaying vegetation, which the male attends, adding or removing litter to regulate the internal heat while the eggs hatch. The species in taxonomic order are:
Moluccan Scrubfowl, Megapodius wallacei
Polynesian Scrubfowl, Megapodius pritchardii
Micronesian Scrubfowl, Megapodius laperouse
Nicobar Scrubfowl, Megapodius nicobariensis
Philippine Scrubfowl, Megapodius cumingii
Sula Scrubfowl, Megapodius bernsteinii
Dusky Scrubfowl, Megapodius freycinet
